Just read an article in the electric co-op magazine about an alligator farm in Summerdale, Alabama. They take in trapped gators that are considered a nuisance where they were caught. The article said the gators feeding habits are pretty good predictors of how close to home a hurricane will hit. So if I don't get eaten by one, there's a pretty good chance a hurricaine won't get me either. Let's see now, Bama stomped the "Gators" ( and made one cry on television) to get to the National Championship last year, and stomped the "Hurricanes" (Miami) last time they were National Champs. I feel pretty safe!!! Interestingly, I was recently invited by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission’s Alligator Management Program to hunt gators in Florida. I guess if you buy a license to fish they want you to clean up their "big brother save the gator" mess too! I grew up in Clayhatchee, Alabama, named for the confluence of the Claybank creek and Choctawhatchee river. I can no longer wade fish the Claybank creek because a gator big as a truck said so. It is REAL hard to run upstream, even in real shallow water. That gator pic you mentioned was taken from this boat. You're right, he was just a lizard next to the "Claybank Clunker".
